Morrison and the other members of the security forces did not act rashly after emerging from the sandstorm.
Instead of wandering aimlessly, they released numerous scouting devices and allowed them to fly in every direction around the massive sand castle.
Through the scouting devices, within just a few minutes, the security forces had surveyed most of the surrounding area and even detected traces of human activity.
They also discovered the collapsed entrance to the sand castle and even tried to send one of the scouting devices inside the castle.
However, to their surprise, the moment the device passed through the entrance, all connection with it was severed as though it had been destroyed.
At first, Morrison and the others assumed that someone inside the castle had destroyed the device the instant it crossed the threshold.
